Note: If using Goji berries make sure to soak them for an hour ahead of time in just enough water to cover. Drain before adding the berries to the mixture. The Goji berries not only add color to this crisp but, more importantly, they add a nutritional antioxidant boost!

Sweet Potato Pie

The following recipe is from Dr. Fuhrman’s Healthy Times Newsletter; Issue 3, November 2002. The pineapple gives it a delightful Hawaiian twist. Happy and healthy Thanksgiving baking!

(Preheat oven to 350 degrees.)

4-6 sweet potatoes (organic are sweeter)

1 1/2 cups orange juice

Canned sliced pineapple (unsweetened)

Bake sweet potatoes at 400 degrees for 90 minutes or until soft. Let cool. Peel off skin and mash in a food processor or Vita Mix with sufficient orange juice to reach desired consistency. Spread mixture into a pan. Cover with pineapple slices.

Bake for 1/2 hour.

Makes 4 servings.

Hmmm... might have to rearrange my menu for one of theses. The apple crisp looks wonderful.

It is so easy and satisfying, not only to mention rewarding, to eat healthy and not suffer ill effects afterward. I am so looking forward to my healthy feast.

These recipes look trully delicious and I am temped to try them. However, is there a danger of even healthful recipes such as these, which include date sugar, raisins, pineapple on top of mashed sweet potato, etc, producing high glucose spikes that are linked to cardiovascular risk?
